A case card grows into its case study

On this site, a case card now grows into its case study when you open it. The card is the same object, just bigger.

I wanted the move to feel like opening something, not loading a new page.

The whole day on one map

Plans now open into a day. Each stop comes with a reason written for the person, not a generic blurb.

Tap a stop and a tray opens with photos, the hours at the time you will be there, the address and a Directions button.

Every stop also sits on one map, in order. You see the shape of the day before you leave the house.

Suprema

Three photo guides for head angles

The hair read in Suprema needs clear photos. People are bad at guessing what a good angle is.

I added three photo guides, one for each head angle the read needs. You see the target before you take the shot.

Motion studio

Product films from real UI

I built a small studio in Remotion for making films. The films use the products' real components, not mockups.

The chip in this loop is Valet's actual interest chip. When the product changes, the film changes with it.

Plan posters, rebuilt from the ground up

Every plan in Valet gets a poster made from the person's own colors. This took rounds of iterations over two days.

The first system looked fine against my own rules. Then I put it next to real posters and it fell apart. I threw it out and started again.

One line held the whole thing together: an idea is a plan without a day. That decided what the poster has to say.

Posters in light and dark

Each card keeps the person's colour in both schemes.

On black, the card sits on a darker shade of their own colour. Pale cards glared against a dark screen, so I stopped using them there.

Creator Desk

A page for each creator

Creator Desk is an agency desk for booking creators. Each creator now has a page of their own.

Everything the desk knows about one person sits in one place, so booking starts from the page, not from a search.

Nutmeg

Three different weeks to choose from

Nutmeg's This week screen: four cooking nights, each with its dish, the time it takes and Swap and Skip buttons.

Nutmeg plans a week of cooking around one household. It now offers three different weeks instead of one.

You pick the week that fits how your next seven days look. Same kitchen, three different ways to run it.
